About Us

Unison is a San Francisco, CA and Omaha, NE based fintech company that is pioneering a smarter, better way to own your home. Until now, the only way to finance a home was by taking on debt. Through the Unison Agreement, we help homeowners access their equity flexibly with no monthly payments or interest. We enhance home affordability, reduce debt, and deliver a less risky way for homeowners, investors, and society to think about their most important asset - the home.

We’ve opened a second location in Omaha, Nebraska, expanded our offering to 30 states, surpassed the $5B mark in real estate investments and partnered with over 8K customers through our HomeOwner programs. This tremendous growth was recognized by the Deloitte Technology Fast500 awards two years in a row as well as being included in the most recent Forbes Fintech50.
